I feel what Xanos done in his own private time with the parts of our dead enemys is his own buisness. He hands the undead a sack. Gather all of the materiel goods and carry them with you. You may drop them if you need to render aid in combat.

Xanos looks at her and nods. "Your disguise may be harder to maintain without the illusion of purity."

With a gentle sweep of his hand, the blood and grime dried, turned to dust and was pushed by some unseen force off her clothes and skin to the floor. He even went so far as to smooth and clean her hair and add faint pigment to her lips and cheeks, leaving only a faint charchol scrape on her face and down her chest.

"That should provide the desired effect." the tall wizard said with a self satisfied nod.

Cain slings the bulk of the blood from his wicked blade with a few swipes, then uses some cloth from the bed in the corner to finish the job. As he watches the undead thing stash all the fallen knight's gear, he sheathes his own blade and reclaims his bow, testing it a few times to make sure it's undamaged.

He looks over at Price and -- when she looks back at him -- he nods knowingly to her. She knows what he's thinking. One traitor down...

"We ready to go visit this idiot's follower? Or do we test this screamer?"

Gwyn checks her weapons before going to the door on the other side of the coffin filled room, hurrying noticeably while in said room. She cautiously puts her ear up to the door and listens for several minutes.

I'm assuming that qualifies for a take twenty. She's trying to see if anything is beyond that door, and she isn't moving until she hears something or she has to.
Perception(Take 20): 20 + 10 = 30
Perception(No 20 can be taken): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Eyeing the hand that the tattooed mage carried, Teon had an idea of his own. After taking the sword from the undead, he walks back to the room with the body. When he returns, he is holding the sword in his right hand and the head of Sir Eldon is forced onto his left.

Gwyn loses her self in thought at the mention of what's in the room, and starts to hum, then softly sing a haunting tune about a nymph and a dragon.

Can't see squat, and I figured that all of this happens before Gwyn can get her Ioun torch out. Besides, she ahsn't gotten to show off her singing voice yet. :)
Perform(sing): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17 (I'm guessing that's off-key but still pleasant to listen to)

"A screaming mushroom is exactly what it is, Cain. Light causes it to vibrate at a rate which creates a surprisingly loud high picked whine. It reacts to light and can be used as a somewhat crude sentry system. Due to the precise internal structure required to create it's shriek, it is quite fragile."

The mushroom easily falls from Teon's strike. No enemies rise up to assault the fused summoner as he makes his move. With the mushroom gone, a search of the now possibly safe room reveals another secret doorway leading to a set of stairs. The stairs themselves lead up into the mansion, a secret way into this dungeon below.

And that is our way out. We still mean to visit the young squire and give him the grievous news Teon gestures with his left hand, still shoved up inside the head of Eldon [/b] And collect our snakes. Anything else?[/b]

Gwyn thinks for a moment and remembers that there were a few doors that weren't opened the first time around. She doesn't waste much time getting to one of the doors (The one leading south in the vampire mist room) and begins checking the door.

Here's my idea, guys. I think the stairs up in the fake pendant room aren't worth checking. I say we grab our bag o' snakes, go visit Timeon so Teon can put on his puppet show, and then we head up the stairs past the spot of Eldon's demise and drop off the pendant - beating the world record time for navigating this rat's maze.

Teon makes his way back to the chamber where Timeon was left with any who choose to follow him. Before getting there, he retriggers his disguise as the kindly old wizard and keeps his left hand behind his back as he approaches.
